Welcome to openDemocracy’s weekly reader comments round-up. This is usually an opportunity for us to showcase some of the many carefully considered messages we receive on a range of topics.

But this week, ahead of a vote in the House of Commons on a bill that seeks to legalise assisted suicide, we posted two op-eds from opposing sides of the debate, and have since been sent many interesting and impassioned messages on this subject from readers.

We have decided to focus on these messages in this week’s round-up. Send us your thoughts on this subject, or any other, for next week’s round-up by replying directly to any of our emails or commenting on our articles or Instagram posts.
